Published SWF File out of Captivate opens in Browser

I have a SWF created in Captivate. Inside the published
Captivate file is a link to open another SWF file.
The original SWF file opens in Flash Player, but when I
access the button to open the other SWF file, that SWF file opens
in my browser.
Can anyone explain to me why this is happening?

you either didn't clear your cache or you uploaded your html and/or swf to the wrong location. retry.

iPad do not support flash natively.
Look in the app store, some browsers do support flash with limited functionality.

How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign

I have a 200 page book (PDF). I am trying to make a flip book to preview in web browser. How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign with the PDF I have?

There is another point:
if you are using JPEG images together with SWF as output file format, you could get smaller images by:
1. using the Export For Web menu for generating size optimized JPEGs in PhotoShop opposed to Save As JPEG
2. stripping all color management (ICC) information off the files (SWF is not very good in color management besides sRGB, I think…)

Help with publishing .swf files in iweb...

Hi,
I am trying to publish .swf files into my website. I have uploaded the files in my idisk in the 'Web' 'Sites' folder where the rest of my website files are held. I have used Roddy's html snippet...
<iframe width="420" height="420" frameborder="0" src="http://idisk.mac.com/username//Web/Sites/flashfiles/filename.swf"
</iframe
When I publish and visit my site I get asked for my username and password for idisk(?) I have not set this (I've checked). Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening. Have I uploaded my .swf files to the wrong place maybe?
Thanks in advance

ALWAYS define URLs from --the-- your visitor's browser point of view.
http://idisk.mac.com/username//Web/Sites/flashfiles/filename.swf
should be
http://web.me.com/username/flashfiles/filename.swf

Captivate 1 and publishing SWF files

I have (registered) captivate 1.01 (build 1418 full
version). I have install it on several (3-4) laptops (replacements,
upgrades) and ... now have a client that requires this older
version for development. I can record the move, create exe files. I
can't just publish a swf file. Did I screw up my license somehow?
Do I have a virus? I need to create swf files to import into their
development tool (EEDO). HELP!!!!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Storybell
If you double-click the icon, does Windows prompt you for
what it should do with the file? If so, try choosing Internet
Explorer and see if it plays.

Animations on Captivate 6 when playing published SWF file

Hi All
I was wondering if someone could help me, I have created some E-learning content which incorporates some simple animation (text animation effects and motion paths on objects). Some of these animations mean that on the screen when I preview in a web browser, that an objects looks as if its coming from outside the canvas onto the canvas. Which is what I want.
However when I publish to SWF its like the boundaries of the screen completely disappear and you can see the object outside the canvas, this doesn't happen in HTML.
The problem I have is that some of the content I have input are not supported in HTML5.... so I really need the animations to work in the SWF file.
Can anyone help or does anyone know what is causing this problem for me?!!!
Thanks in advance guys!

How to publish swf file as streaming html on LMS?

Hi Folks
When i try to publish a swf file it creates a html file and
works fine. but when its created in the folder. It creates a skin
file, 2 html files and standard file. When i publish it on LMS to
create a streaming flash file nothing is seen. Is there any other
way to publish. It is not a scrom compliant LMS. If that helps.
Appreciate all the replies
Thanks!

Hi again
I think you are probably still seeing the _skin.swf file
because I don't believe that Captivate deletes the files prior to
creating the new ones. So you should probably clear the folder
before publishing again. Once you do that, you should see only
three files.
Cheers... Rick

Published EXE file Error-Adobe captivate 4

Hi,
I'm having problems with publishing an EXE file in Adobe captivate 4. I know it has something to do with our internet browser settings, we are a Court location and we have strict settings, but I'm wondering if there are work arounds through adobe captivate. See error below:
-allowing active content such as script and ActiveX controls can be useful, but active content might also harm your computer. Are you sure you want to let this file run active content? Y/N
-Help protect security, internet explore has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer, click here for options.
If you just select yes and proceed the captivate file runs fine and you can complete the training. Our goal is to be able to publish in this format because it's more stable than the PDF or HTML option but we don't want users to experience this error from the start.
Thanks for helping with my questions!

Hi, I've been trying to attach an image for the error message we get but not matter what I do it gives me an error and won't let me attach the image. Any suggestions or do you have an email I can send them too. The error message may be a little different than what I sent previously, it seems to give a different error message on different computers. But we are currently trying to create a new release of our training program so this should be the most current error message and the error message people will see when they open it on their PC's. Anyway this is what it says:
First Error Message:
File Download-Security Warning
Do you want to run or save this file?
Name: BasicCORIS_AttachAnAttorney.exe (name of our file)
Type: Application, 9.27MB
From: C:/CourtsOnlineTraining\Program Files\Dist....
Run Save Cancel (we select run, than you get next error message)
While files from the Internet can be useful, this file type can potentially harm your computer. If you do not trust the source, do not run or save this software. What's the risk?
Second Error Message:
Internet Explorer- Security Warning
The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?
Name: BasicCORIS_AttachAnAttorney.exe
Publisher: Unknown Publisher
Run Don't Run
This file does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher. You should only run software from publishers you trust. How can I decide what software to run?
I hope this makes sense. Let me tell you a little more about how our training is set up. We load the training on to a USB stick that includes a menu, the training modules, and a shortcut. Once the USB is downloaded on to the users PC they can select a shortcut icon for the training. Once they select the training shortcut it opens a menu that they can select training from. When they select on the desired training this is when they would receive these error messages. Our current release is in a HTML format, but because of this format the training interacts with the web browser and causes us problems so we were hoping to publish in exe and the training wouldn't open in a web browser.
Let me know if you have further questions or if I've just confused the situation more. Again thanks for your help!

Fickering on published SWF file

Hi all, We are publishing a Swf file in Adobe cs3 and it
flickers permanently when opened. What can we do to avoid this?
Please advise.

Does it do that when you test the file or just when actually
publishing?
This happens to me when I have AS errors so test the file and
check the
error output

Black screen when transition slides in published SWF file

Hi there
I have published a SWF file and when viewing it in IE, after a couple of slide transition, there is a particular slide that goes black. I checked the slide properties within captivate and there is no transition associated with it. Does anyone know what went wrong?
Regards
AJ

Does it happen with everything or just some content? Could be an odd HDCP issue if you have a Mini or Mac Pro with separate monitor.
I've seen occasional reports of some protected video not playing on computers due to HDCP issues.

Published Swf file flickers. Why?

Hi all, We are publishing a Swf file in Adobe cs3 and it
flickers permanently when opened. What can we do to avoid this?
Please advise.

Basically at the moment we have a website called
projectionpictures.com (take a look). At the moment we are trying
to do a few small changes. However when we import the file that
generates all the layers and then try to export to see if it will
display in exactly the same way before we start to adjust it. The
exported .swf file strobes and it doesn't display the website to
its full size as we would need.
1) why does it strobe ?
I can email you an attachment if your okay with that.

Published .swf Files ignore my AS Code

I've been working on s project for a week or so, testing it with Ctrl+Enter in Flash and I got it working just fine. Tonight, for the first time, I tested it by just running the .swf file and none of the ActionScript works...primarily, the stop() command on the first frame, it just blows through my whole movie as if there's not a lick of code there.
I went back in Flash and tested it there with Ctrl+Enter and voilla...no problem.
Odd...
So I opened a brand new Flash file. A plain document. I put a keyframe on 40, then put a keyframe on 30 and put some plain text on the stage "this is some text"
I tested the movie, with Ctrl+Enter and, as expected, for awhile I saw nothing then "this is some text" appeared, then the movie got to the end and restarted.
So far so good.
I put a "stop()" in the first keyframe of the movie. Ctrl+Enter to test it. Nothing happened. The movie was stopped.
Cool, so I published the .swf file. When running the .swf the "this is some text" text did appear and the movie played as normal, COMPLETELY IGNORING MY CODE.
WFT? I've checked my publish settings, I am publishing AS 3.0 and this is CS4 that I'm using. Any help?

Hi kglad. The issue is more in AIR. When testing the .fla file in Flash Professional (CTRL + Enter), the file works as expected. However, if I publish the file using default settings in AIR, the stage just immediately begins flickering. I've upload the file to the following location.

Many thanks for the help.

Can we publish swf file made with InDesign in .exe?

I made a SWF file with InDesign. I would like to publish it in .exe? Is it possible?

What version of FlashPro are you using? If you want a self contained app that doesn't load external resources, publish an AIR app, which will work on Windows or OSX. I'm using OSX so I can't really help with .exe projector files, but it looks like the latest version of FlashPro no longer outputs projector files—I think everything is AIR now.
If you really want to go the projector route, I'm guessing Jeffrey Smith's suggestion of finding an older version of Flash Player would be simpler.
So for AIR, set your Publishing target to AIR for Desktop. Then under File>AIR settings:
Output as: Application with runtime embedded
Include files: Add all of your resources—the swf ID generated and it's resource folder
In the Signature tab click New to create a self-signing Certificate (if you were developing commercial software you would need a third party certificate). You can save the certificate anywhere.
When you publish you should find an AIR application file (.app) file in the directory with your .fla
